8

The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of the both denominators - LCM(8, 2) = 8. The fraction result cannot be further simplified by cancelling.

In words - three eighths plus one half = seven eighths.

Answer 2

Answer:7/8

Step-by-step explanation:The fractions have unlike denominators. First, find the Least Common Denominator and rewrite the fractions with the common denominator.

LCD(3/8, 1/2) = 8

Multiply both the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the number that makes its denominator equal the LCD. This is basically multiplying each fraction by 1.

(3/8×1/1)+(1/2×4/4)=?

Complete the multiplication and the equation becomes

3/8+4/8=?

The two fractions now have like denominators so you can add the numerators.

Then:

3/8+4/8=7/8

This fraction cannot be reduced.
